To develop general purpose humanoid robots that can learn from human demonstration and think, act, and talk

About

Figure AI is building the world's first commercially viable autonomous humanoid robot. The company combines advanced AI with cutting-edge robotics to create machines that can work alongside humans in real-world environments.

Completed an 11-month pilot with BMW at Spartanburg, South Carolina, during which Figure 02 robots supported over 30,000 vehicles and handled more than 90,000 parts.
Raised $1B+ Series C in September 2025 at a $39 billion post-money valuation, led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from NVIDIA, Brookfield Asset Management, Salesforce, Qualcomm, and others.
Demonstrated end-to-end neural network control with vision-language-action model.
Launched Figure 03 in October 2025, designed for both industrial and household applications.

Software Ecosystem

AI / Model Approach	Helix — proprietary VLA (Vision-Language-Action) model, fully in-house since ending OpenAI partnership in February 2025. Helix 02 (January 2026) unifies walking, balance, and manipulation in a single neural network. Dual-system architecture: slow deliberate reasoning (S2) and fast reactive motor control (S1). Converts natural language commands directly to motor actions. According to Figure AI.
Training Methodology	"Project Go-Big" — collecting human video training data across Brookfield's 100,000 residential units. Egocentric human video data. 10 Gbps mmWave data offload from Figure 03 fleet for continuous learning. Helix Lab for large-scale egocentric data collection. Real-world deployment data from BMW Spartanburg (90,000+ parts handled, 1,250+ hours). According to Figure AI.
Developer Access	No public SDK or developer platform. Vertically integrated closed system. According to Figure AI.
Third-Party Integrations	NVIDIA (investor, compute partner). Brookfield Asset Management (data collection partnership). BMW and UPS as commercial customers. Previously partnered with OpenAI (ended February 2025).
